Chapter 90: Call Me Councillor
The sturdy figure bypassed the countless guards at the gate of the Clevenna mansion, completely hiding itself in the night.
She expertly climbed up to the second floor and opened the bedroom window.
In her bedroom, Leah was quietly reading a book in bed.
The figure climbed through the window, closed the window, and came to Leah.
The pointy ears on either side of the visitor indicate her identity.
Liya didn't raise her head and asked lightly.
"Did anyone bring it?"
Leon nodded.
"There were too many guards outside, so I put Chur in the basement of the prop shop."
She tilted her head to look at Leah, feeling something strange.
How did Miss Leah start reading?
"I kind of understand why Victor loves to read so much."
Liya slowly closed the book in her hand, put it on the cabinet at hand, and explained lightly:
"Books help me calm down and relax for a while, which is very helpful for thinking about things."
Leon stared at Leah adoringly, and exclaimed in her heart:
Miss Leah is able to stay calm at such times.
As if casually mentioned, Lia asked the elf in front of her.
"Leon, if the eldest prince really comes to me to propose, what do you think will be good for us?"
"Don't worry."
Leon was slightly stunned, and held her chin in thought.
Naturally, she knew that Jacereth wanted the eldest prince to propose to Miss Leah.
Soon, Leon gave her answer.
She briskly told Leah, "I don't like it. ”
Leah was stunned for a moment when she heard Leon's answer.
"What do you mean?"
Leon answered Leah's doubts very bluntly:
"I don't know what benefits the marriage will bring, but I just don't want Miss Lia to marry into the royal family."
Listening to Leon's answer, Leah smiled softly.
"The royal family is so noble, but there are many girls who can't wait to marry the prince."
Of course, there is definitely no one among them.
If Leah had wanted to marry so much, she would have left the Cravina family long ago.
Leah smiled helplessly.
"Jace Lesser just put the trap in my face."
This is a conspiracy.
Jace Lesser wanted her to marry the Grand Prince, tying the Clevina family to the Grand Prince's chariot.
Everyone knows that this matter will not be allowed by the second prince.
Moreover, Victor has become the princess's teacher, and under the control of Emperor Oberly, Kravenna should not support either of the two princes.
Through this incident, Jace Rayser caused Victor to attract the resentment of the second prince, and incidentally made the emperor disappointed in Victor.
Obviously, Leah understands these things, but what makes her feel a little suffocated.
On the bright side, Leah could not disobey the eldest prince's proposal.
She was just a family member who didn't even have a knighthood and was forced to cling to the Clevenner family.
The eldest prince took a fancy to her, and that was her blessing, so if the eldest prince really came to propose marriage, and Victor didn't react, Leah could only agree.
At first, Leah believed that Victor would have refused if he had been smart.
But she found out later.
If this is the case, it means that Victor took the initiative to declare that he would never support the eldest prince.
Then the direction of whose wind to support will quickly shift to the second prince.
The Clavenna family was forced to oppose the eldest prince, and since Victor was the princess's personal tutor, it was impossible for him to support the second prince.
Obviously did not support either side, but they Cravina directly became the target of public criticism.
If it weren't for the Duke's reminder of today's visit, she wouldn't have even noticed it.
Therefore, whether you agree or not, it will eventually lead to a result, that is, Victor is bound to have contradictions and confrontations with these two princes.
So which side would the previous Victor choose?
Ria drew in circles on the book, and finally circled the brush on the 'Great Prince'.
Benefit.
If he has to oppose one side, then he will definitely oppose the second prince.
Because now it seems that the eldest prince is the most advantageous, because he is the one who takes the initiative to ask for marriage.
"But that was before."
Leah shredded the pages, and the red gem in the mage's hand shone with a slight glow of magic, burning the paper in her hand to ashes.
She wouldn't give her life to anyone.
……
In the early morning, the flawed light finally pierced through the night and shone on the royal capital.
At this time, all the people in the royal capital were beginning to prepare to open shops and work.
And inside the palace, everyone was also waiting, waiting for the court meeting to open.
Emperor Oberley slowly sat down on his throne and looked at the courtiers below.
Jace Rayser led a group of ministers and stood on one side.
On the other side, there is the second prince standing.
He also led a group of courtiers who supported him.
Standing beside the emperor was the Duke of Rivi.
Emperor Oberly nodded to his courtiers and signaled that the court meeting could begin.
After receiving permission, Jace Rayser was the first to speak:
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Great Prince has returned this time, and he is full of merits."
"Your Highness killed a demon dragon that has plagued the empire for a long time on the border, and has made a great contribution to bringing the dragon head back to promote peace."
The second prince just stood aside and quietly watched Jace Reesser's praise, smiling without saying a word.
Emperor Oberly did not speak, but heard Jace Reeser continue:
"The eldest prince has not been married yet, but now, His Royal Highness has entered his thirties, and it is time to consider the issue of starting a family."
"I have a recommendation for a spouse."
"That's Count Victor's sister....."
Before he could finish his sentence, Gwen walked in from outside the court, dressed in armor and with a long sword at his waist.
"Lord Gwen! We haven't reported it to Your Majesty yet! ”
Immediately behind Gwen were two eunuchs, who followed Gwen all the way, anxiously admonishing.
But now Gwen was in the presence of the Emperor.
She led a grizzled man in her hand and threw it towards the center of the palace.
Everyone looked at the man who was thrown onto the palace and looked at each other.
Someone can't help but ask.
"Who is this man?"
"This man's name is Chull, a soldier in the Kingdom of Kante, who infiltrated the empire under a different identity and became a grain merchant, blending into the Clavenna family."
"His goal is to assassinate Victor and his sister Leah."
"But he failed, and was captured by Victor's sister instead."
When the ministers above the court heard this, they all gasped.
The previous Victor was a viscount, and he was also a viscount with real power in a territory.
However, such a nobleman is actually mixed with the soldiers of the Kante Kingdom?
The magnitude of the matter is hard not to wonder if there is anyone in the empire who communicates with the Kingdom of Kanter.
And the assassination point coincided with the time when Victor became an earl and his strength was among the ranks of fourth-order mages.
Many people can't help but look to Jace Lesser.
Why?
Before this, no matter how unhappy the nobles who were always present were with Victor, they would not say that they would ask someone to assassinate Victor.
Because Victor is a member of the Empire, the grievances of the Empire should be resolved by the Empire themselves.
What does it mean for a kingdom to be mixed in?
So who has a grudge against Victor recently, and who has this motive?
The nobles who looked at Jace Lesser didn't say a word.
But they have already made clear their current attitude towards Rayser.
Jace Lesser felt a lot of malicious stare looking at him, like dozens of sharp needles piercing him.
The Emperor raised his eyes, looked at Gwen, and said the first words:
"Where's that kid now?"
"Your Majesty, Leah is waiting outside the palace."
Emperor Oberly bowed his head and said:
"Let her in."
At the emperor's behest, several guards brought Ria into the palace.
She stood in front of the emperor, and in the eyes of everyone, she bowed slightly to the emperor on the throne.
"I've seen Your Majesty."
Emperor Oberly waved his hand,
"No need to be polite."
With that, he stared at Leah and chuckled.
"Okay, it's okay."
"Otherwise, my old man can't stand Victor coming to me."
Everyone present could hear the Emperor's closeness, and his admiration for Victor even affected his sister.
Love me, love my dog.
Leah slowly got up and glanced at Jace Lesser.
There seemed to be a strong mockery in his eyes.
But the taunt was fleeting, and no one noticed Leah's expression in this sudden situation.
With the emperor's eyes signaling, a magician slowly stepped forward and used the crystal ball in his hand to guide the fainting Chur.
The sigil slowly appeared on the crystal ball, then turned red and dissipated.
The sorcerer turned to the Emperor and said:
"Your Majesty, he is indeed not from the Empire, and he has an obviously rich qi and blood."
The qi and blood are rich, indicating that the other party is a warrior and his strength is not weak.
This basically verifies the authenticity of Leah's words.
Let's not talk about whether this warrior intends to assassinate the Victor family, just such a powerful warrior from outside the empire has infiltrated the empire, it is worth investigating.
The Duke of Levi was at the Emperor's side at this time, and then said:
"Your Majesty, this matter should be thoroughly investigated."
The Emperor nodded, "Hmm", and smiled at Leah.
"Son, come to me."
Leah bowed to the Emperor again and slowly walked to the Emperor's vicinity.
Looking at Leah, who came forward, the emperor smiled and said:
"Your brother is Aurelian's teacher, and you don't have to be inhibited by my side."
"I will investigate this matter, and you will also have a great contribution to capturing such a kingdom warrior."
Everyone present noticed the Emperor's words.
He reminded the princess of her relationship with Victor as a warning to everyone present.
Don't put your little gestures to me.
Kravenner will not support either side.
No one noticed, and Jace Lesser clenched his fists slightly.
Why?
Why can the emperor be so good to these two people?
We are the royal family, and Devin and I are your nephews!
A seed called jealousy was inadvertently planted in the bottom of her heart, slowly taking root in Jace Lesser's heart.
Suddenly, the Emperor looked at Jace Lesser and asked:
"Speaking of which, you just had something to say."
"Go on."
Jacereser was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, he was the one who was roasted on the fire.
Victor's sister had just been assassinated, and he went to mention the matter of the eldest prince and his marriage......
Isn't that looking for scolding?
"Your Majesty, I ......"
Jace Lesser opened his mouth, and the words were like a boulder blocking his throat, and he couldn't say anything.
The old emperor sighed and said lightly:
"Come out, Victor."
"If there's anything you want to say, tell him yourself."
Victor?
Everyone present was puzzled.
Where is Victor here?
Along with their doubts, a green color suddenly rose in the palace, full of life.
Wildflowers and weeds gradually spread all over the floor, and the winding vines gradually climbed to the top of the palace, and the surrounding golden pillars were wrapped in rattans.
A cluster of flowers that appeared behind the crowd gradually moved, and as the flowers receded.
Victor gradually revealed.
He appeared in front of everyone out of thin air and shook the trench coat behind him.
Victor at this moment is the same as last time.
If the last Victor spread terror and majesty, then the Victor at this moment is full of coldness and elegance.
But there is still a mysterious sense of distance.
His figure vanished in an instant, ghostly behind Jace.
Victor pressed it to Jace's ear, his eyes were cold, and he said slowly:
"There are some things I didn't say in advance, maybe you think you have an opportunity."
"But now, I want you to remember it forever."
As Victor spoke, several vines suddenly wrapped around Jace's neck, tightening tighter and tighter.
Jaston struggled to his feet, desperately tearing at the thick rattan around his neck.
His face gradually turned red, and the movements of his hands became more flustered.
But all he could hear was Victor's cold voice, which sounded indifferently;
"Stay away from the people around me."
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in shock.
Victor appears out of nowhere, and his warning-like words.
Even Gwen and Leah looked puzzled and puzzled.
Why did Victor suddenly appear?
As if realizing something, several nobles standing behind Jacereser hurriedly shouted.
"Victor! Are you crazy! ”
"Are you going to kill someone in the palace!"
Victor's eyes glanced at the man indifferently, and the other party was like a chicken suddenly drowning, choked by the throat, and did not dare to say a second sentence.
But he didn't do anything murderous, and the vines gradually receded from Jaceresser's body.
He touched his neck, gasping for air.
The prolonged inability to breathe caused his eyes to be bloodshot, and the scarlet color was extremely scary.
"Victor!"
Jace's voice was slightly hoarse, but he wasn't afraid.
At this moment, the jealousy in his heart turned into a violent anger, and he wanted to tear the person in front of him apart with his own hands.
But he couldn't, he could only suppress his anger and pretend to look at Victor calmly.
"What enmity do I have against you?"
Victor seemed to have vented all his anger and pulled his collar elegantly.
"Mr. Jace, before talking about your feud with me, I want you to face up to the identity gap between you and me."
Jace felt a wave of confusion and confusion, and accordingly, this doubt spread to everyone in the palace except the emperor.
As if unintentionally, a round silver logo appeared on Victor's collar.
The three broken human heads on it seem to reveal some kind of mysterious identity.
In Jace's angry eyes, Victor said lightly as if mocking, as if he was contemptuous of him.
"Call me, Councillor Cravinner."
